Also offensive: pointing out that English speakers do not use the word “American” to refer to people from Latin America. The term in our language is universally used to refer to people from the country America.

    I propose a way to fix all this shit:

    • Rename NA to Tacoland
    • Rename SA to Empanadia
    • Rename USA to Northern Mexico
    • Rename the Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of the Mexicos and Cuba”

    Done! Now nobody fights over Vespucci’s name.

      Finally, some sanity. Tacolandian rolls off the tongue much better than usian, not that anyone actually says that silly shit out loud. Damn that was close, people almost didn’t know what to call themselves. 🌮✅️
